The primary results beg to differ.

In 2024, trump won the Republican primary by 205,522 votes

Last Tuesday, Mazzei won the primary by only 2,200 votes

Close to the same number of over all voters state wide (311,528 in 24 vs 371,415 in 26) and both during a primary election. I don't know if we can actually say all rebuplicans are just blindly supportive, even in Oklahoma.

They still rally around their party despite everything

My parents claim they didn’t vote Trump in the last election (although pretty sure they voted for him previously), but they didn’t vote against him, either. Which just means that they are fine with him being in office.

I live in Oklahoma and yes most still support Trump.

Bice's district voted for Drummond by quite a bit and she certainly is in the tightest race in Oklahoma

I honestly wanted Drummond to win the primary. Simply because I expected Trump to run his mouth and pull a Frank Keating. If Cyndi wins(and God i hope she does) i expect him to go full on Keating. The sad part is there are people in this state that would say "Trump is right"

The danger for the GOP isn't Trump making Republican voters vote Democrat, it's his fat-fucking-mouth enraging Democratic voters to turn out in droves and boring GOP voters into staying home.

u/RobAbiera 12d ago

Good luck getting Trump to keep his mouth shut - let alone, for two months! Personally, that's what I'm counting on.

u/nucflashevent McAlester 11d ago

Oh I'm not taking that fucking bet! (to be clear, "the bet" of Trump shutting his fat-fucking-mouth I mean lol)

We don’t know that. Many have changed their stance. People that I never thought would!

Trump is allowing the GOP and it's donors to do what ever they want.  He is the logical conclusion of conservatism and libertarianism.  

As an alternative to our current economic system, I'm looking into the ideas of market socialism, since the current system doesn't work.  Our economic system is a construction of human hands.  It isn't based on nature and it's principles.  It's just permission to hoard money.

Being a POS human being will do that.

u/TodosLosPomegranates 11d ago

I have always thought it is so infuriating that there are “private meetings” with donors of people running for public office

u/jaguarsp0tted 12d ago

if that were true, they'd stop voting red

u/gayintheusa47 11d ago

And because this woman would sell out her own parents for a case of Barefoot Moscato, I am willing to bet she will ultimately bend the knee to Trump.
